SCORAI Global is composed of a wonderful network of researchers and practitioners from a wide range of academic expertise and in a wide range of countries and cultures. We hope to present some of this knowledge through individual conversations in response to a common set of interview questions:
- Why are you concerned about sustainable consumption/lifestyles
- Who do you think are the most effective directions and agents of change towards more sustainable lifestyles
- What is preventing them from bringing about the necessary change
- Can you envisage a regime and the institutional and physical infrastructures which would promote sustainable lifestyles
- Is there a country or city which has such a regime and infrastructures
- Does any culture/religion/community around the world offer concepts which could promote mainstream global adoption of decent and sustainable lifestyles
- Will change come from internal or external changes/events/circumstances?
- The Corona pandemic had potential, but ultimately did not change lifestyles. What changed when a country underwent significant regime change, such as the transfer of power to China in Hong Kong, the institutional structural changes in Japan following WW2, the changes in ex Soviet Union countries.
- What issues would you like to raise for discussion in the SCORAI network
The interviewer is Valerie Brachya, a member of the Executive Board of SCORAI Global. We would welcome your comments to the listserv, or you may like to send a mail to Valerie at Valerie@jerusaleminstitute.org.il.
